The Carceri

Section: 
prayers

 

Ancient rocks . . .
Guarding secrets of an ancient past,
Hewn from mountains that have gazed
In silent awe
Upon the face of God,
Heard God=s muted whisper deep within
Its ancient heart
And shared its secrets with a
Little man
Whose heart had also known
The tender gaze of
God.
